Itās because they find evidence to support their truth, instead of formulating a theory based in the evidence. Iāve heard it described with the circle analogy.
Imagine the absolute truth is a circle, but we donāt know what the shape is. By doing research, we find out certain facts as points on that circle. We can then draw straight lines between those points, and draw a shape thatās as close to the absolute truth as we can get, with the data we have. Further research and discoveries place more dots, sometimes falling outside of the lines weāve drawn. So we redraw the shape more and more, always increasing towards that circle. Thatās how science works.
Conspiracy theorist do the opposite. They draw a random shape (thatās nowhere near a circle, like a star), and then go out to find proof that fits on that shape. Some proof is correct - it just happens to fall on the same lines as the circle. Others are completely out there, aligning with their shape, but not with the circle (because itās not relevant to the truth). And if they do find proof that fits on the circle, but not on their star, itās ignored.
Actually, the Dutch translation is āNijlpaardā, not ārivierpaardā.
But, it uses the Dutch name for the Nile river, āNijlā. So itās lit. āNilehorseā - which is technically the same as āriver horseā, just more geographically specific.

Finished my first a BG3 run, blind. Was considering starting a second run, with āperfectā choices (and mods) but it seems that patch 6 broke quite some things.
Gonna spend time playing ādad gamesā, then. I donāt know whatās so appealing about those āX simulatorā games, but I can absolutely get lost in them.
